The essential Madhya Pradesh in one seamless journey — Gwalior’s hilltop fort, Orchha’s Bundela palaces, the temples of Khajuraho and a tiger safari at Bandhavgarh.
This is Madhya Pradesh at its most rewarding — the towering fort of Gwalior, the fairy-tale Bundela palaces of Orchha, the sublime temples of Khajuraho (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) and the tigers of Bandhavgarh, all in one carefully-paced circuit.
Every drive, safari and stay is arranged for you in a private car, so you simply travel and take it in. We time Bandhavgarh for the best sightings and pace the heritage days gently.
